The Age Group Online Qualifier (AGOQ) is the direct route to the CrossFit Games for Age Group athletes. The online competition is open to the top 200 athletes in each age group, and the top 10 in each category qualify to the CrossFit Games.
Athletes from around the world between the ages of 14 to 17 and 35 to 55+ will complete six workouts to establish this year’s Age Group CrossFit Games qualifiers.
Similar to the CrossFit Open, the workouts for the AGOQ are released on a Thursday and athletes have four days, until Monday March 16 at 5pm PT, to submit their scores. The top 10 will be established after the video review process.
In the midst of the coronavirus, CrossFit HQ released the following statement on social media:
“With the start of this global competition, we realize that some athletes in areas affected by COVID-19 may not be able to compete due to constraints beyond their control.
“This is an unfortunate circumstance. However, to maintain the standards for this qualifier for the CrossFit Games, the published deadlines for score submission will remain in effect.”
Good luck to everyone taking part.

Tiebreak
If the athlete completes the entire event prior to the 15-minute time cap, their score will be their total time, and there will be no tiebreaker. If the athlete is not able to complete the entire event in the allotted time, a tiebreaker will be factored into their score.
During the event, note the athlete’s time at the end of each set of chest-to-bar pull-ups. When the athlete submits their score, there will be a space for their final rep count and an additional field for them to enter the elapsed time at which they completed their final round of chest-to-bar pull-ups.
In the case where two athletes have the same score (total number of reps), the athlete with the lower tiebreak time will be ranked higher.
